Description

Cassie Klein is a college senior with a penchant for bad decisions, but sleeping with the mother of her best friend might be the ultimate mistake. When she meets Erin Bennett at an off-campus party, the chemistry is instant, electric, and entirely unexpected. There is just one significant problem: Erin is the conservative parent of Cassie’s best friend, and their secret connection is a minefield waiting to explode. What begins as a fleeting, impulsive encounter quickly spirals into a complicated, high-stakes affair that neither woman can walk away from. As they navigate the messy intersection of desire and obligation, they must contend with the biting wit and sharp banter that defines their volatile attraction. This story is a masterclass in the age-gap romance trope, balancing raw introspection with the delightful, total cluelessness of two women caught in the grip of undeniable passion. Wilsner delivers a narrative that is equal parts hilarious and heart-wrenching, capturing the thrill of a forbidden romance that refuses to stay hidden. If you are looking for a story that will keep you awake until dawn, this addictive and deeply human comedy will leave you breathless, rooting for an impossible love that defies every rule.

Sweet, spicy, funny

I absolutely LOVED this book. The characters are flawed, with the right balance of introspective and total cluelessness. The banter is witty and sharp. There are plenty of well-written, HOT steamy scenes, as well as adorable fluff. Lots of important friendship explorations, too. I thought it was sort of refreshing that Cassie's biggest problem was not the age gap, but the fact that Erin is her best friend's mom. I never wanted it to end. Every night when I'd read a few chapters, I couldn't wait to spend time in Erin and Cassie's world. There's a sort of twist at the end that made me want to go right back to the beginning and reread in a different light. It's the sort of book that seems so cinematic and would make a great movie or series, but it'd be almost impossible to live up to the book. Can't wait to keep following this author...I'm an instant fan!

F', should

The book started a little too fast. And sometimes I felt like there was a lot of unneeded filler. But besides that, the attraction between the main characters was believable, and the sex scenes were hot, especially when the younger mc tells the older mc what to do. On a different note, I appreciated that Parker matured through the end of the book. One thing I've noticed in books lately is that the parent always has to tip toe around their child. I hate that. I would never roll my eyes or say a snotty comment to my parents because I love and respect them. Anyway, the book held my interest, and I'll probably re-read it at some point.

A Sweet and Sentimental Love Story!

First book I read from this writer. The book blurb caught my eye and even though it was from two years ago, I had to have it. It was an exciting and poignant read. Two women meet up in a bar. Cassie and Erin. After a quick romp in the back of Erin’s car, Cassie gets Erin to drop her off at the local college where Erin realizes Cassie was a senior and Erin’s daughter was a new freshman. Erin was in for Freshman visiting weekend. What is worse when her daughter brings a friend to breakfast and that friend is her first one night stand Cassie. Written well, the storytelling takes us through the relationship as the two try to part but keep finding reasons to get together. Erin know that her renewed relationship with her daughter will be destroyed and Cassie knows that Parker has become like a best friend since she has been rooming in the dorm with Acacia her real life best friend. But they can’t seem to stay apart. Worth a read.
